Question by dkoontz · Oct 04, 2010 at 07:31 AM · inputmanager

Can you get an axis value without defining a name

I'd like to find the equivalent to Input.GetKey but for an Axis. I want to read in current value of a particular axis without needing to have defined a name for that axis first. I don't see anything like this in the Input class, is it hidden away somewhere else or is that functionality not exposed?

Don't think this is possible - What is the usage?

I want to be able to define platform specific keymaps. For example, on Windows an XBox 360 controller uses axis 3 for the triggers but on OSX those show up as axis 5 and 6. It would be nice to be able to define in my mapping an axis number for "jump" or such and then do a Input.GetAxisValue(axisNumber) or such. Ins$$anonymous$$d I have to go and define generic names like Axis1, Axis2, Axis3, etc. and associate those with my actions.

Using two Input.GetKey, you should relatively easily be able to make the equivalent of Input.GetAxisRaw, and the you would only need to apply a little amount of smoothing of your choice.

That's the best I can come up with

How do I use Get$$anonymous$$ey for a Joystick?

I should clarify, a Joystick axis such as the analog sticks on an XBox 360 controller.

Uhm, well I think you can't. But how about defining all the axises you could possibly need in the inputmanager, and then at runtime deciding which ones to use?
